6. Operating the reader
The user will be informed with the status messages about the progress of the reset process. The nal message will be
„Reader with IP Address 192.168.0.1 …. (???????????) .
Note
From reader rmware 2.04, the reader in the ex-works condition has the IP address 192.168.0.1 with the network
mask 255.255.255.0. Reader versions earlier than this are congured for DHCP.
Note
The IP addresses of the control computer and the reader must be in the same IP range, but they must not be the same.
The network mask on the other hand must be identical.
To integrate the reader into a corporate network, please contact your administrator who will be able to allocate
you a spare IP address and assign the correct network mask. Alternatively the reader can also be congured to
obtain an IP address automatically. For this service, referred to as DHCP, an appropriate DHCP server must be
operating in the network. You can obtain more details about this from your network administrator.
In order to establish the connection to the reader, the program offers two options. On the one hand, it is possible
to communicate directly with the reader by entering the IP address, on the other hand it is also possible to
establish a connection using the reader's host name.
For the connection using a host name, there must be a correspondingly congured DHCP server and a DNS
in the network. After power up, the reader makes a DHCP request and logs on to the DHCP server. This assigns
the reader an IP address and reports the network name and IP address to the DNS server. If now the connection
has been established, the IP address of the reader is determined by an enquiry on the DNS server.
The establishment of the connection is achieved if the establishment of the connection is selected under the
Ethernet header, meaning the selection of the IP address or name. For this, the correct IP address or the host
name of the reader must be entered in the corresponding eld. Pressing the Connect button then opens the
data channel to the reader.
If you wish to establish a connection via an IP address, the IP address eld must be highlighted and
this address entered in it. The connection is established by clicking on the Connect button.
